GARCON VS GONZO

by carmine on Dec 14, 2009 11:32 AM EST

First let me start by making two points. 1) I am not a Garcon hater, i look forward to him having a long career with the colts. 2) Gonzo must be completely healthy before the end of the season and gets in some needed playing time.

My belief is that Garcon has the better physical attributes compared to Gonzo ,speed and size but that's where it ends. Gozno`s ability to read coverages is far superior than Garcons and has Manning's trust to settle down in an area in the coverage and Manning will throw the ball to that area before Gonzo makes his brake. Also at this point in Garcons career i think Gonzo has the better hands too. Another benefit is Gonzo`s knowledge of the system you can line him up anywhere and create favorable mismatches. This was to be Gonzos break out year with the retirement of Harrison opening the way only to see him get hurt early. I just don't think Garcon has Manning trust yet and he only throws the ball to him when he can see his numbers. Regardless we are lucky to have them both lets stay healthy and win it all. AS ALWAYS YOU THOUGHTS ON THIS WILL HELP

We run a base 3 WR set. Why should we have to choose?

If/When Gonzo gets to 100% strength, put Gonzo and Garcon outside, Wayne in the slot, Clark at TE, and Addai in the backfield.
To me, that sounds like a fierce offensive set.

Keep Garcon out there

I’m fine with Gonzo taking Collie’s spot, but Garcon is such a great deep threat. Yeah, it doesn’t always work, but defenses have to respect it.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Full Strength

To hahasound’s point, we run a 3 WR set. Both PG and Gonzo will be on the field the majority of the time together. The person who will lose some playing time will probably be Collie. What a luxury to bring Austin Collie off of the bench. This all depends on what formation or set we are in. Let’s not forget about both Donald Brown and Mike Hart who along with Joe Addai provide 3 great receiving Running Backs. Let’s just all keep our fingers crossed about Gonzo. Hopefully we can work him into the Jets and Bills game so he is ready to go in January.
